The gameplay is basically Sim City + Anno 1701. If you liked those two games, you'll probably like this. (It feels very similar to the DS versions of each, in particular.)

The controls are mostly pretty good, with one big exception: Not being able to use the joypad to scroll the screen is really, really annoying in a few situations, especially when putting down road (you have to deselect road to move the view easily -- it follows you when you draw one long road, but there's no easy way to move around looking for high-traffic areas and put improved roads at several key points.)

Not much else to say. It's primarily a decently-made Sim City clone, but you also have to manage high-income and low-income citizens and living conditions in order to keep all the black people lower-classes away from the elite, while ensuring that they still have enough cheap illegal immigrant labor to mow their lawns and work in the Quik-E-Mart.

Yeah... there's something slightly disturbing about that aspect of the game... (It's not just me! They represent rising social class by making the little people figures whiter. It's a ghettoization simulator. Well, they give you magic buildings that make the different races live in harmony, at least...)

I can't help but wonder, given the humorous satire in the tutorial, if that aspect of the game isn't intended to be a satirical look at society, too -- as opposed to the faceless Sim City residents who easily get gentrified by the player's majestic actions, the society shown in this game is filled with social tensions, actually breaking out into outright violence from the disruption if the city starts changing too suddenly one way or the other.

Have-nots are indicated by black human-shaped icon, Elites are indicated by white human-shaped icon, I never associated the colors with races. If the game's sublimely have that concept, I guess only albinos can become elites - or your race changes when you get a promotion =P

I was never a fan of Sim City, but I got hooked in this game for some reason. I think the main thing about it is bringing lowlifes to elites, which is kinda like leveling up and I love that aspect of the game.

Anyone playing this? I am going through the campaigns started chapter 4 but can't seem to workout what to do, the objective is "watch playlet of a home". I have waited for months to see if any social unrest occurs but nothing. Started again and tried to attract other social groups got havenots down to 48% but still no unrest.

So therefore can't achieve objective and move on to next campaign, any advise?
